The dude abides.
I appreciate it everyone. I'm definitely happy that she went peacefully and is in a better place now. The last week or so that she's been sitting in the hospital bed, she just looked miserable, constantly having to be hooked up to the BiPAP machine, with a giant mask strapped all over her head. So she finally gets to be at peace and not hooked up to a bunch of stuff.
Right now anger is the biggest issue for me. She went in on July 18th for the procedure to replace her pacemaker, only issues she had was Alzheimer's and dementia, and taking a breathing treatment at home every now and then when she felt the need to. She would read the paper everyday, watch TV, sit there at the table drinking her coffee. She walked into the hospital on her own two feet. Then the doctor screws up the procedure (for the second time in 5 years), punctures and collapses her lung, and she was just never really able to recover. Issue after issue kept popping up, blood clots, fluid around her heart and lungs, issues with her lung that had been punctured, breathing issues in the weeks after.
I just can't help but feel angry right now, that none of this necessarily had to happen. She may still have eventually passed due to respiratory failure, but I just can't help but feel like all of this happened right now all because of that one botched procedure, that otherwise, she would have been released the next day like was originally planned and would be home right now still reading the paper and drinking her coffee.
It'll be a long week though to go through the whole grieving process. Thursday is apparently a holy day, so the church can't do the funeral on that day. So things are getting bumped back a day instead, the viewing at the funeral home on Thursday and the funeral on Friday. So it'll be a full week to work through things. Thankfully family will start showing up. My aunt Kate will probably be here from Chicago either tonight or tomorrow. My aunt Laura and uncle Russ will get here from Maryland I think sometime tonight. My uncle and I both have to go up to Toledo this week and buy some suits for the funeral, so I guess he was talking about me and him going up together tomorrow and spending the day together. So they'll be around. Any my uncle Tom will be around each day, now that he's able to starting spending his nights back at home again sleeping.
So thankfully there'll be plenty of family around in the next day or two for support. I'll still be popping in on here throughout the week. With the viewing not until Thursday, right now there's not much I can do. My mom, two aunts and uncle Tom are still working on details, like the mass proceedings and flowers and everything else, that'll be tomorrow. They just met with the guy from the funeral home this afternoon. So at the moment not much I can do. So I'll still be stopping in just to spend some time keeping occupied and maybe get a few minutes away from things and thinking about everything.
Thanks again though everybody. It really does help and I appreciate it.

Much deserved. He embarrassed and shamed clowns EVERYWHERE. I'm not sure how clowns will ever recover from this slap in the face.
I am late but sorry to hear about your loss smooth. Glad to hear she went peacefully.
Yeah, think I would have found something else to do for a living and told them what all the Bush, Reagan and Nixon masked people did when they had to go to sensitivity training.What a sad, bitter, small, ripe with envy country we have become.
